- '"Betit known that I, Ismon NnwMAN, a citizen of the'lUnited States. and resident of-Nw"Youlicity;-borough of Bronx, county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements innCigar-Tip Cutters, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple and efficient cutter for cigar tips, wherein the cutters are normally held in position to receive thecigar tip, mere pressure of the operating arms toward each other the cutters will be moved apart relatively to each other forsevering the cigar tip, the device beingcapable of'being made in relatively small size so as to be conveniently carried in the nature of a watch-chain charm.

The invention comprises novel details of improvement and combinations of parts that. will be more fully hereinafter set forth and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein,

Figure l is a face view of a cigar-tip cutter embodying my invention; Fig. 2 1s a section on the line 2, 2. in Fig. 1; Fig. 3

is a face view illustrating a modified form of cutters, and Fig. 4: is a section on the line 4, 4, in Fig. 3.

The numerals 1, 2, indicate the cutters, shown provided with normally alined central openings 1, 2 to receive the cigar tips, the edges of such openings being suitably shaped to readily cut the cigar tips. The cutters 1, 2, are pivotally connected at- 3 so as to normally lie one over or against the other, and the arms 1", 2 of said cutters normally extend in diverging directions, and at their outer portions are shown bent laterally out of line with each other.

In Figs. 1 and 2- cutters 1. 52. are shown bent at an angle substantially midway across openings 1*, 2, and are curved substantially on a circle described around the pivot 3, whereby the cutters in angular form'- Specification of Letters Patent.

connected together at their outer ends, at (3, the member t being pivotallv connected at T with the bent portion 1" of arm 1". and the'menib'er 5 laL-ingpivotally connected at S with the bent portion 2 of arm 1.. A spring 9, shown coiled around pivot (3, and hearing at its ends against membcrs -t. serves to normally maintain saidmembcrs spread apart and thereby also spreading apart the arms 1. 2". and retaining the cutters 1. '2. in normal positions with their openings 1, 2 alined. -The lower ends of members 4. below the pivot t3. engage and thus limit the outward or spreading movement of men'ibers l. 5, and thereby maintain the openings 1*, 2 of the cutters normally alined, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3. The members -t, are shown formed of channel-like material. the, side web 1 of one member 1 fitting within the channel of the other member and the side web 4" of member l fitting without the corresponding web of member 5, whereby said members can be made of relatively light material and yet of considerable strength, and enabling the members to fold closely together. I

Changes may be made in the arrangements setforth, within the scope of the appended claims. without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having now described my invention what I claim is 1. A cigar-tip cutter comprising a pair of cutters pivotally connected together, and having outwardly extending arms, a pair of members pivotally comurcted at adjacent ends and respectively pivotally connected at their opposite ends with said arms, and a spring coiled about the pivot of and'normally separating said members to normally hold the cutters in operating position.

A cigar-tip cutter provided with a pair of cutters pivotally connected together and having normally alined openings, arms extending from said cutters in diverging dinected together, and a spring coiled about the pivot of said members normally holding said arms spread apart and the openings; of the cutters alined.

4. A cigar-tip cuttercomprising a pair of cutters pivotally connected together and havingopenings normallyalined and provided With arms extending in diverging directions beyond the pivot, and channelmembers pivotally connected with said arms and pivotally connected together, a web of one member fitting Within the channel of the other member.

5. A cigar-cutter comprising a pair of cutters pivotally having openings'normally alined and prorections beyond the connected together andvided witharms extending in diverging dithe pivot, channel-members pivotally connected with said arms and piv- 'otally connected together, a web of one member fitting within the other' member, and

pivot of said members, located within their channels, and normally spreading said members apart.
